Benchmarking your PC... let's see what you got!

Don't care. Don't want it.

I found this completely safe and free site for benchmarking your PC. Very simple download file and run it on your PC. The results are interesting. I would think the more people that try it, and compare on here, maybe we can get a better clue as to what people really can expect from their systems.

I'd be a bit careful with the statement about expectation. Just because you have nice values in a benchmark it doesn't necessarily mean it is also true for a different software product. If you followed the recent discussion about Time Spy benchmark and async compute you know what I mean.
Also there is such a variety of options and asset configurations that impact performance. How a generic benchmark would consider those? I guess most noticed some sessions have good performance, but suddenly other routes .... a not so good one.
I think the only real indication about performance to expect in TANE can be done by an in-game benchmark or performance analysis tools

For some reason, I have to unplug my IoMega USB drive for this benchmark, otherwise it hangs on the last test. Having said that:


About par with my expectations. I guess if I were to upgrade this fossil (it's about 5 years old), an SSD and newer GTX graphics card would be my options. I might go for a new machine altogether next year anyway.

I push this laptop to its limits with TS12 on fairly low settings, still with mediocre results. I'm working on saving up for a new PC for T:ANE, but that will take some time.

I can't say the summary is too far off. For the CPU, I was given this...

With an extremely low single core score, this CPU can barely handle email and light web browsing. Finally, with a gaming score of 8.42%, this CPUs suitability for 3D gaming is terrible.

Click to expand...

Web browsing on this rig is horrible, even though it's not very old and pretty clean and virus-free. Don't try going to any websites using sophisticated HTML5 stuff, it will hang and require a hard restart. I really don't know what Toshiba and AMD were thinking.

For graphics, I was told this...

2.06% is too low to play 3D games or use CAD packages. (Note: general computing tasks don't require 3D graphics)

Somehow TS12 works. It doesn't work well, but it works. I had a Lenovo laptop with very similar specs to this one. It was less than a year old when the motherboard burned up while I was playing CitiesXL.

Hopefully, I won't have to use this PC much longer.

Well, my HDD failed this week on me so I was forced into getting a new drive. I went with an SDD and improved my benchmark a little...

Installed my new Asus ROG Strix OC GTX 1070 last night and took T:ANE for a spin on some of my most demanding routes.
Not sure if I have optimised T:ANE yet for the new card (I left the settings the same as for my replaced Asus R9-280X DC2-TOP) so that I could experience any difference, but there was certainly a distinct and perceptible improvement in framerates and responsiveness.
System temperatures were way lower and the new card never broke into a sweat whilst running T:ANE sessions at between 47 FPS (lowest observed) and 420 FPS (Highest) with an average over 150 FPS most of the time. (Most of the time the fans don't run on this card unless you're really pushing it along, so it is much quieter than my old 280X, especially at idle.) TDP difference is huge, with the new card much more efficient, using half as much power and generating much less heat under load.

Encouraged, I ran the UserBenchmarks test with the following results:

UserBenchmarks: Game 115%, Desk 101%, Work 77%
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K - 96.6%
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070 - 135.7%

USB: Seagate Desktop 1TB - 14%
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 C9 4x4GB - 61.4%
MBD: Asus Z97-A

Found this to be a useful pointer to what I need to replace/ upgrade next. Going to USB 3 on my backup drive (currently the Seagate Desktop USB 2.0 with a woeful 14% performance on this benchmark) should help and I nearly replaced my D: Drive ADATA SSD with another Samsung EVO SSD yesterday (with a higher capacity than my C: Drive) but that can wait a while whilst I sort out the components I need for an entirely new machine next year.

In the meantime, I'm loving my new GPU and am keen to learn what other tricks it can play.

Ok Here is mine, realy thought it would be higher.

the worst point in all that is I can't even run decently TANE and especially Trainz 12 (less of 35 fps, especially in my projects in Trainz 12 )

iPodEdE - something is definitely throttling your performance there - your system spec should allow you to run both T:ANE and TS12 with very high performance settings/ visual splendor, with frame-rates way above 100FPS in most scenarios (with vertical synchronisation turned OFF). So what is causing this? Perhaps you are driving a 4K or higher monitor? Perhaps your SSD drive is almost full and leaves little headroom for file I/O? Or is it perhaps because the content in your projects is extremely high poly/ has poor LOD?
I have a GTX 1070 card too and it storms T:ANE (and other demanding simulators) at the highest possible settings at Full HD (1080p) resolution. It would also do ok at 4K resolution too, I'd say, albeit with some of the settings turned down a tad. Only a GTX 1080 or Titan X (Pascal) would be better in terms of 4k performance.
That said, I still find that there are occasional stutters in TS12 during driving sessions, even with my new card. T:ANE is much, much smoother.

PC_Ace - hello and thank you for your answer

now, T:ANE is running very correctly, in fact I "reseted" the game parameters by modifying the graphic options, by putting them at max !

but for TS12, no solutions available unfortunately.
I have a route project with almost 2000-2400 baseboards, it works perfectly with T:ANE but not at all with TS12, and it's very unfortunate, because of the compatibility of assets between TS12 and T:ANE

both Trainz are installed in my SSHD, because of the weight.

my screen is a 23" Philips with a max resolution of 1920x1080.

All overclocks tested stable, I'm sure there's a bit more O/clock headroom with both the CPU and GPU yet!

T:ANE Build 83765 is running from the Samsung 950 NVMe PCIe M.2 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147467
Now to fine tune (and OC maybe).

As an aside, T:ANE on AI is now like watching a Pixar BluRay DVD.

tallyken - Very impressive results for the 950 NVME PCIe M2 drive.
I'm planning to acquire one of the new 960 EVO or PRO versions myself when they become available here. Thanks for posting.
